SimSpace UltraMAX SIM 6 enclosurethe SIM 6 with SimSpace's grey high-contrast screen, for a rich picture in a bright room
· Proposal for Giles
Prepared for Giles · October 2026
Your room · Garmin Approach R50 · SIM 6 bay
Your golf room, designed and costed.
Both rooms use SimSpace's UltraMAX grey screen for a rich picture in a bright summer house. The R50 room is built so the tech lifts out to the house; the GC3 room is the full 4K version. Here are two complete rooms sized to your 5.5 × 4.5m, with every cost on the table and the one I'd build for you marked.
That's the Garmin Approach R50 room I'd build, ready-filled at £9,318.95. Each room below has its own basket.

Your space
Your space: 5.5 × 4.5m
Drawn to your measurements: 5.5m wide, 4.5m long and 3.5m high — Summer house 5.5m wide x 4.5m deep, very high pitched ceiling, being refurbished. Enclosure on the far wall, between the door and the side wall (4.8m), 30cm off the wall.
Width · 5.5m
140cm to spareThe SIM 6 enclosure is about 4.1m wide outside, and we recommend at least 8cm clear each side, so it needs a 4.10m wall.
Height · 3.5m
Full swing height2.7m is our minimum for a full swing, and you have more than enough.
Length · 4.5m
It works30cm clear behind the bay + 2.5m from the screen to the ball + swing space behind you: at least 4.2m in all.
Worth sorting before it arrives
A double socket at the screen end
For the projector and the R50, plus one by the hitting area.
A safe route for the HDMI cable
The 10m HDMI cable carries the picture from the launch monitor or PC to the projector. Plan where it runs, under the turf or in a cable cover, so nobody trips on it.
Blinds on any windows
A darker room gives a sharper picture.
30cm clear behind the bay
And 8cm either side, so the screen can give with each shot.
What I spotted in your photos
A fireplace in the middle of the back wall.
The enclosure stands 30cm in front of the back wall, so the fireplace sits out of sight behind the screen.
Please check
A door on the back wall near one corner.
The enclosure sits in the 4.8m between that door and the side wall, so the door stays free.
Confirmed
Glazed doors across the front and windows in the side walls.
Daylight on the screen. The UltraMAX grey screen holds the picture in a bright room, and blinds help.
Please check
A stone-flag floor.
Cushioned underlay under the putting turf quietens the room, protects the floor and is kinder on the joints.
Confirmed"Please check" means that's how I read your photo. Tell me if I've got it wrong and I'll change the plan.

Why I'd build the Garmin Approach R50 room
Portable and self-contained: no PC, and it lifts out to the house after every round. It fits your 5.5 × 4.5m room in a SIM 6 bay, with nothing needed behind the ball.
The trade-off: Club data is less consistent than its ball data in independent tests.
What I've assumed
The projector sits in its floor case in front of you — prefer it on the ceiling? I'll swap it.
We haven't talked budget, so I've recommended the best-value room that fits rather than the most expensive.
No gaming PC needed: the Garmin Approach R50 runs the simulator itself.
If any of that's wrong, tell me and I'll redraw it.

| Runs on | The R50's own screen, straight to the projector over HDMI (1080p) | A Windows gaming PC, out to the projector |
| Games & multi-sport | Golf only. Other sports need an add-on such as the TruGolf ARCADE, plus a PC | Golf only. Foresight's football (Skill Drill) is on its GCHawk only |
Garmin Approach R50: Club data needs the reflective stickers supplied with the R50, one on each club face. Ball data works without them. All shot data, impact video and driving-range practice are included. A Garmin Golf membership adds course play, practice on those courses, the weekly tournament and cloud video storage. Ball data is its strength. In independent tests, club data was less consistent, with some missed reads and angle of attack the weakest.
Foresight GC3: Club data needs one Foresight club marker on the face (supplied). Ball and club data are both on Foresight's free plan. Tour-level ball data. Club data covers club speed, smash, path and angle of attack; for face angle you'd need Foresight's GCQuad.
Picture quality
1080p or 4K: what you'll actually see
The picture is only as sharp as the weakest link: what draws it (the launch monitor or a PC) and the projector. Impact screens sold as “4K” have a finer weave that shows a sharp picture cleanly, but the resolution itself comes from the projector and what feeds it.
The Garmin Approach R50 room: the R50's own HDMI output and a 1080p projector, a matched pair.1080p
The Foresight GC3 room: the 4K gaming PC and a 4K projector, a matched pair.4K
1080p
Garmin R50 on its own
The R50 runs its courses itself and sends the picture over HDMI at up to 1080p. A 1080p short-throw projector is the right match. A 4K projector would only upscale the same 1080p picture.
Up to 4K
Garmin R50 with a gaming PC
Connect the R50 to a gaming PC running GSPro or E6 Connect and the PC draws the picture. With a 4K-capable PC and a 4K projector, that's true 4K. GSPro needs its own licence.
Up to 4K
PC-run launch monitors
Foresight, Full Swing and similar units run on a PC, so the PC and projector set the picture. A 4K PC and a 4K projector give true 4K; a 1080p projector gives 1080p.
Is 4K worth it? It's sharpest on a big screen viewed up close, and for films or TV on the same projector. For golf on an R50, 1080p is the honest match.

Designed for your roomDrawn to your summer house: the door, the French doors and the sloping ceiling.
One order, one personEvery part comes from us, and you deal with me from the first call to your first round.
Nothing missingCables, mount or floor case, bumpers, turf and underlay are all in the price.
Your summer house
How it fits in the summer house
The SIM 6 sits on the far wall, in the 4.75m between the door and the side wall, 30cm off the wall so the screen can take each shot. The door stays free.
UltraMAX, 3m canopy
SimSpace's grey high-contrast screen keeps the picture rich and sharp with daylight from the French doors and Velux windows. The sides and flat roof come out 3m over the hitting area, covering the sloping ceiling and its spotlights above the bay.
R50 room, the SimSpace floor projector case
A steel case with an artificial-grass top that sits on the floor about 25cm in front of the mat. It protects the projector, has built-in ventilation and cable ports, and its sloped top sends a low shot up into the screen rather than back at you. The BenQ AH500ST inside sits about 1.5m from the screen and throws a picture about 3m wide across the middle of the SIM 6 screen.
GC3 4K room, the 4K projector
The BenQ AK700ST has a longer throw than the floor-case projector, so it hangs from the ceiling just in front of the canopy, about 3m from the screen and above the hitting area, filling the screen in true 4K from the 4K PC. It needs a ceiling fixing and a socket there, and a quick check that the tallest player's swing clears it.
Why 4K is in the GC3 room only
The Garmin R50 sends a 1080p picture, so a 4K projector wouldn't make the golf any sharper. The GC3 runs on a PC, so a 4K PC and projector give a true 4K picture.
The bumper pack
Pads the steel bar along the bottom of the enclosure, under the screen. Balls stop hitting bare metal and skipping back towards the hitting area, and it protects your clubs and toes too.
Ceiling height
The SIM 6 is 3m tall, so it needs at least 3.1m clear across the 4m where it stands. Worth checking where the roof slopes down.
What I've assumed
The plan is drawn for a right-handed golfer. Left-handed friends can play too: both launch monitors move to the other side of the ball.
The SIM 6 needs at least 3.1m clear across the 4m where the enclosure stands. Your roof slopes, so please check the height there.
We haven't set a budget, so optional extras are priced separately.
Please note
Made to your wall
The SIM 6 is 4m wide, which leaves about 38cm each side of the 4.75m space. I'm getting a price for a made-to-width enclosure that fills it with 5–10cm each side. The prices on this page are for the standard SIM 6.
Security
Taking the tech back to the house
You'd like the tech to go back to the main house between rounds. The R50 room is built for exactly that; the 4K GC3 room trades some of it for picture quality.
Garmin R50 room
One compact unit. Unplug it and carry it in. There's no PC.
Foresight GC3 4K room
The GC3 itself lifts out. The 4K PC and the 4K projector on its ceiling mount stay in the summer house, so lock up or alarm the room.
The projector (R50 room)
Sits in the SimSpace floor case in front of the mat rather than on the ceiling, so it unplugs and lifts out too. The case stays.
What stays
The enclosure, screen, mat, putting turf and underlay. There is nothing there worth taking.
Set-up each time
Place the launch monitor beside the ball, put the projector back in its case and plug in the HDMI and power. A few minutes, and the projector remembers its picture settings.
Lighting
Lighting: a bright ball, a dark screen
A projected picture looks its best when the screen is dark and the hitting area is bright. In a summer house with French doors, Velux windows and spotlights, that's worth planning while the builder is there.
The spotlights over the bay
On their own dimmable circuit, so they can be off or low while you play. Under the 3m canopy they're covered anyway.
A light over the hitting area
A dedicated golf simulator light (an LED spotlight on a short powered track) mounted above and behind you, aimed at the ball and mat, not the screen (it's in the extras above, £175). Camera-based launch monitors like the R50 and GC3 read the ball most reliably in steady, even light.
The Velux windows and French doors
Blinds keep daylight off the screen, and the UltraMAX grey screen in both rooms holds the picture in a brighter room.
The rest of the room
Soft lighting behind you, such as wall lights by the French doors, keeps it comfortable without washing out the picture.
Multi-sport
Multi-sport: what's possible in your room
You mentioned other sports. Here's how it works with each launch monitor, and what fits a 4.5m-deep room.
Foresight GC3
Golf only on a new GC3. Foresight's football (Skill Drill: penalties, free kicks, passing) runs on their overhead GCHawk, not the GC3.
Garmin R50
Golf only: four practice ranges and more than 43,000 courses on Home Tee Hero. It also works with GSPro, E6 Connect and Awesome Golf for more golf games.
Full Swing Sports
Full Swing's multi-sport covers 13 sports, including football, baseball, hockey, basketball, rugby and cricket. It runs on Full Swing's own full simulators, which are fixed installs about 6.1m deep. Your summer house is 4.5m deep, so it won't fit, and it can't come out between uses. Full Swing's simulators start at £42,000 + VAT.
Adding sports to either room
The TruGolf MultiSport ARCADE is a ceiling camera that adds football (penalties, targets, passing), hockey, baseball, American football, basketball and party games to a normal golf simulator. It needs a 2.44m+ ceiling and a PC. The GC3 room already has the 4K PC. It doesn't do cricket, rugby or tennis. It's around £4,000–£4,500, and it's not something we stock yet, so I'd confirm the details with you first.
Your builder
What your builder can fit now
As the summer house is being refurbished, a few things are easiest before the ceiling is boarded and the floor goes down.
R50 room: a double socket in the floor
About 1.5m out from the far wall, centred on the enclosure, for the projector in its floor case. A floor box keeps it flush.
GC3 4K room: a fixing point and a double socket on the ceiling
About 3m out from the far wall, centred on the enclosure, for the 4K projector, plus a socket for the PC.
A double socket near the hitting area
Low on a wall or in the floor, for the launch monitor.
A cable route
Between the two for the 10m HDMI cable, in a floor duct or conduit, so nothing trails across the turf.
Good WiFi
In the summer house, for course downloads and updates.
Lighting
The spotlights over the bay on their own dimmable circuit, and a fixing point above the hitting area for a simulator light.
The stone floor
Laid flat and level. The underlay and turf go straight on top.
Your questions, answered
Worth knowing before you decide
What exactly is included?
Every room is complete: the SimSpace enclosure with its impact screen, the tee-turf hitting mat, the projector listed on each card (and its case or mount), and the launch monitor. Each item is listed with its own price on the cards above.
Do you fit it?
Everything is supplied ready to assemble — a SimSpace enclosure goes up in under an hour with SimSpace's step-by-step video. Tom is on WhatsApp for any setup questions.
How much space do I need around the bay?
We recommend at least 30cm clear behind the enclosure, so the screen can give with each shot, and at least 8cm either side of the frame. Those are already allowed for in the plan above.
Which balls should I use?
New, clean, unmarked balls. Premium soft balls such as Pro V1, Chrome Soft and TP5 are actually the hardest on an impact screen. Aiming at the middle of the screen helps it last.
Is there a subscription?
Only for course play — Garmin Golf membership, £8.99 a month or £89.99 a year, for course play.
Can I spread the cost?
Yes — Klarna and Clearpay at checkout, or Tom can send an invoice if you'd rather pay that way.
No rush, prices held for 14 days
